The APN tells your handset how to reach EE for internet, MMS and hotspot. An incorrect one means signal without working internet.
Here are EE's APN values across Android and iPhone: name, username, password, MMSC, MMS proxy, port. When data connects but nothing loads, start with these.
How to find APN settings on Android (EE APN Settings iPhone 16)
EE's APN screen on Android 10+ sits at Settings → Network & Internet (Connections, on Samsung) → Mobile Network → Access Point Names. Use the plus icon for a new profile or open the existing EE entry to edit it.
On a Galaxy: Settings → Connections → Mobile Networks → Access Point Names. Xiaomi and Redmi use Settings → SIM cards & Mobile Networks → Access Point Names.

How to find APN settings on iPhone (EE APN Settings iPhone 16)
For iOS 16 onward, check Settings → Mobile Data → Mobile Data Network — its absence usually means EE is already pushing the APN automatically. A reset (Settings → General → Transfer or Reset iPhone → Reset → Reset Network Settings) brings EE's defaults back.
On certain new iPhones, EE's carrier bundle locks the APN field; contact EE for a profile update.

Troubleshooting EE APN issues (iPhone 16)
EE APN entered but still no data? These are worth trying in sequence:
1. Ten seconds of aeroplane mode, on then off, to force EE reconnection and re-register the APN profile.
2. Power the phone right down and up again, flushing temporary glitches and activating EE's settings.
3. Wipe and re-enter the APN — one typo in EE's APN name or MMSC address stops data working.
4. Do a complete network reset — Android via Settings → General Management → Reset → Reset Network Settings, iPhone via Settings → General → Reset → Reset Network Settings. Pairings clear; EE defaults return.
5. Look at the account itself — is the SIM activated, the account active, and the data allowance not exhausted? The EE hub or customer services can confirm.
Troubleshooting checklist
EE issues here tend to clear up within the first couple of steps
• The MMS Proxy field is an IP address only — no http:// prefix
• APN Type must contain mms (e.g.
default,supl,mms)• On Android, save then select the profile before testing
APN settings for MMS on EE (iPhone 16)
MMS on EE depends on its own APN fields: MMSC, proxy and port. Check those first when picture messages fail; certain Android models want a standalone MMS APN.

Type EE's MMSC field exactly as shown — it's http://, and swapping in https:// breaks picture messaging outright
Frequently Asked Questions About EE APN Settings iPhone 16
Will changing APN settings delete anything?
No. Contacts, messages and apps are untouched — this only sets how the phone reaches EE for data and MMS, and it's reversible.
Do I need to enter APN settings on an eSIM?
An EE eSIM normally arrives with correct APN settings. Should data not work, the manual steps above will set it.
Why is my EE APN greyed out?
EE restricts APN editing on particular handsets and SIM types. Android users can try reset APNs via Settings → Network & Internet → Mobile Network; iPhone needs an EE carrier bundle update.
